Description
Cotton is a natural fiber with a long history of associations with luxury and royalty - it's no surprise why. Requiring immense skill to weave, the finest cotton towels and linens were as soft, supple, and breathable as aristocracy's other favorite fabric, silk. Cotton achieves its smoothness and silkiness by very tightly weaving the fibers together, meaning that more cotton is needed to make softer towels. Today, finely woven cotton, known as high thread count cotton, still commands a premium price. That's why terry cloth, the type of weaving found in your bath towels, is so popular. It creates the softness, with added plush and absorbency without requiring a dense weave. Don't mistake terry cloth bath towels for a cotton hair towel, however. To achieve that soft and plushy feeling, terry cloth relies on its fibers being wider apart. The result is a coarser texture that can wreak havoc on your hair in the form of frizz, dried tips, and a waterlogged scalp. All of these problems create dryness, itching, and a messy head later. Cotton hair towels are quite different from cotton bath towels. For one thing, they're a third to half the size of a bath towel. These much smaller towels can take advantage of their size to utilize high thread count cotton without becoming overly expensive. The hyper-absorbent qualities of cotton mean that you don't actually need that much towel to dry your hair - especially when you're talking about high thread count cotton. It's a smaller towel, but it's higher quality cotton. It's the best of both worlds and your hair benefits as a result. Cotton hair towels fall into the natural hair care product category. Unlike synthetic fibers like polyester, cotton doesn't require fossil fuels to manufacture and it doesn't introduce microparticles into the environment as it breaks down. Fully biodegradable, this plant-based product is seeing a tremendous emphasis on the development of sustainable and ecologically friendly practices.
